### 3/5 — Too short

*2019-10-04, version 1.2*

This game and the Rebels and Redcoats are  too short. There needs to be an open-ended option to allow both sides to duke it out. The games often end with substantial troops still on the field. It would also be nice for all these games to have a random game generator to create your own game or  randomly place troops on a map with endless replay value. Biggest gripe- the battles suddenly end just as things get going.

### 1/5 — Really broken

*2019-09-23, version 1.2*

I have the board game so really disappointed the game is so broken. In the Brandywine battle British infantry can’t fire 80% of the time. I wanted my money back within minutes of trying to play but apparently that is no longer an option.

Why is this game even allowed on the Ap store? A battle game that only allows one side to fire is obviously broken beyond a few glitches.

I will be contacting Worthington Games to report this travesty. It is not good for their reputation.

### 1/5 — Hold The Line

*2018-10-11, version 1.0.1*

Game is chunky does not run smoothly. I can only move 3-4pieces should be able to move all and officers go with units no separTely

### 1/5 — Glitchy (1 Jan 2018)

*2018-01-01, version 1.0.1*

1. Crashes repeatedly.
2. If you zoom out, you can’t zoom back in.
3. The highest zoom-in level isn’t as good as previous games. Given the small scale of the battle maps, there should be more zoom available (units are too small).
4. Dragoons are supposed to be able to fire after moving, does not always happen.
5. Sometimes a leader retreats and it keeps galloping in place, and it causes the game to not respond from that point on.

### 3/5 — Interesting Game, I guess that's a bland endorsement

*2017-08-20, version 1.0.1*

It's different(!) from the Rebels and Redcoats game offered by Hexwar, and more difficult to master. The interface is crowded even for a 13" iPad.  Only through experimentation will you understand the crowded lower screen section, it's really not found within help. The terrain depictions are substandard from making the transition from a larger board game to a small screen. Contrast between playing units and terrain are the primary difficulty. This detracts significantly for me in playing this game, Hexwar's Rebels and Redcoats visuals are great in comparison!

Will I play it much, probably not as I would head to Rebels and Redcoats almost certainly to play a game for this time period.

I visited the Hexwar web site to see if more instructions on game play and the screen symbols were available after viewing an on-line video review of the board version. Nothing was found, no PDF to read or video showing the tutorial scenarios being played with voice. I wish they would offer an alternate play screen that aids/speeds play. At this point I cannot recommend this game unless you need a game for this time period.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback.  We will take all of this into account.
